Printable Solar Cells Market Size and Forecasts (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis
Solar cells that can be printed are made using a newly developed solar ink technology. Metal salts and a polymer-fullerene mixture are used in solar ink. The ink is made up of a photoactive layer of p-type polymers and n-type fullerenes. This is linked to the anode of the substratum. Using inkjet printing technology, the solar ink scheme can be implemented on layered coatings. The low cost of manufacturing printable solar cells is a significant benefit, thanks to the constant drop in silicon material prices worldwide. The main driver of the market for printable solar cells is rising global electricity demand, which is expected to continue at a rapid pace in the near future. Printable solar cells have the potential to provide continuous power to residential and commercial buildings. Furthermore, the printable solar cells can easily change shape and design to provide aesthetically better facade enhancements to a building. The market for printable solar cells is divided into bulk heterojunction solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Bulk heterojunction solar cell technology employs polymer-based flexible solar cells, also known as plastic solar cells. It is a thin-film solar cell technology. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) use titanium dioxide nanoparticles with a layer of light-harvesting dyes and are simple to manufacture using conventional roll printing technology.

The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
